The Stigma of Mental Health – Infographic

Mental health issues effect 1 in 4 people. 1 in 20 suffer from severe mental health issues. Those are staggering numbers and yet people with mental health issues are still stigmatized. If you’re in the Chicago Metro area and suffer from eating disorder, depression, bipolar, anxiety or any other mental health issue and would like treatment please contact Locus Therapy at (312) 218-7380.

This infographic from Morningside Recovery looks at the realities of mental health, the stigma prejudice, and how those affected by mental illness can actually lead full, healthy, and active lives, when given proper treatment. At the end of the infographic is a short list of organizations which advocate for the mentally ill and spread the message that the stigma should become a thing of the past.
